Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of natural gas hydrogen blending transportation, and specifically relates to a natural gas hydrogen blending pipeline dynamic mixer. Background Art

[0002] Hydrogen energy has begun to develop rapidly in all walks of life. The production, transportation and use of hydrogen have become the most concerned objects at present. In terms of transportation, due to the influence of hydrogen embrittlement, there has been no substantial progress in the material of hydrogen transportation. Since 2000, natural gas hydrogen blending has been studied in depth. The commonly used pipeline mixer for hydrogen blending is a static mixer. The static mixer is a mixing device without moving parts. It uses a fixed structure to change the flow state of the fluid in the pipe to achieve good dispersion and mixing between different fluids. Since the density of hydrogen is smaller than that of natural gas and the flow rate of commonly used hydrogen pipelines is low, the uniformity of the gas after mixing is not ideal, and the resistance is large, resulting in large energy losses. Utility Model Content

[0004] The specific plan is as follows:

[0005] A natural gas hydrogen blending pipeline dynamic mixer, wherein a front flow guide, a rear movable bracket and a coupling are arranged in the pipeline, one end of the coupling is rotatably connected to the front flow guide, and the other end of the coupling is rotatably connected to the rear movable bracket, a guide plate is arranged on the front flow guide, and the guide plate is evenly fixed on the front flow guide, an impeller is fixedly arranged on the coupling and at a position close to the front flow guide, and a spiral blade is fixedly arranged on the coupling and at a position away from the front flow guide.

[0006] The guide plates are evenly arranged along the circumference of the front guide, one end of the guide plates is fixedly connected to the front guide, and the other end of the guide plates is fixedly connected to the inside of the pipeline.

[0007] The front deflector is in a capsule shape.

One end of the connecting shaft is rotatably connected to the front deflector through the bearing, and the other end of the connecting shaft is rotatably connected to the rear movable bracket through the bearing.

[0009] The rear movable bracket includes a shaft sleeve, support bars are evenly fixed on the shaft sleeve, and the inner wall of the pipe is also provided with a number of blocks equal to the support bars. The blocks are evenly fixed on the inner wall of the pipe and are connected with the support bars. A disassembly gap is also provided between every two adjacent blocks, and the spacing of the disassembly gap is greater than the width of the support bar.

[0010] The impeller is provided with a plurality of blades, and an impeller shaft sleeve is provided on the impeller. The impeller is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft through the impeller shaft sleeve.

[0011] The spiral blades are fixed on the connecting shaft with a fixed pitch.

[0012] The utility model discloses a natural gas hydrogen blending pipeline dynamic mixer. Natural gas and hydrogen with a certain pressure and flow rate enter the pipeline body, are blocked by a front deflector and the gas is compressed to the inner wall side of the pipeline, so that the kinetic energy of the gas is further improved, and then the gas with a large amount of kinetic energy is converted into an ordered gas through a deflector and impacts an impeller, so that the impeller rotates, and the natural gas and hydrogen are preliminarily mixed here. The rotating impeller transmits torque to the spiral blades through the connecting shaft, and the spiral blades produce a shearing and diversion effect on the fluid during the rotation process, and the preliminarily mixed gas is further stirred and mixed, and finally the mixed gas flows out from the outlet;

[0020] The front deflector 7 is in the shape of a capsule.

[0021] Bearings 6 are provided inside the front deflector 7 and on the rear movable bracket 8. One end of the connecting shaft 5 is rotatably connected to the front deflector 7 via the bearing 6, and the other end of the connecting shaft 5 is rotatably connected to the rear movable bracket 8 via the bearing 6.

[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, the rear movable bracket 8 includes a sleeve 10, on which support bars 12 are evenly fixed, and the inner wall of the pipe 1 is also provided with a number of blocks 9 equal to the support bars 12, the blocks 9 are evenly fixed on the inner wall of the pipe 1 and are connected with the support bars 12, and a disassembly gap 13 is also provided between every two adjacent blocks 9, and the spacing of the disassembly gap 13 is greater than the width of the support bar 12.

[0023] In this embodiment, there are four support bars 12, which are evenly fixed on the sleeve 10. There are also four stoppers 9, which are arc-shaped and evenly fixed on the inner wall of the pipe 1 to provide a reaction force for the entire rotating part. The support bar 12 of the rear movable bracket 8 slides into the pipe through the disassembly gap 13, so that the sleeve 10 is inserted into the bearing, and then the rear movable bracket 8 is rotated so that the support bar 12 is in contact with the stopper 9, thus completing the installation of the rear movable bracket 8. If the maintenance process requires disassembly, the rear movable bracket 8 needs to be rotated so that the support bar 12 rotates to the disassembly gap 13, and then the rear movable bracket 8 is pulled out of the pipe 1 to complete the disassembly of the rear movable bracket.

[0024] The impeller 2 is provided with 4 to 6 blades, and an impeller sleeve is provided on the impeller 2. The impeller 2 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 5 through the impeller sleeve.

[0025] The spiral blade 4 is fixed on the connecting shaft 5 with a fixed pitch.

[0026] The natural gas hydrogen blending pipeline dynamic mixer comprises two parts, one part has a rotating part, and the other part is a fixed part.

[0027] The rotating parts include: an impeller 2, spiral blades 4, a coupling 5 and bearings 6; the impeller 2 adopts a 4-6 blade structure, which is connected to the coupling 5 through an impeller sleeve to provide a source of rotational power, and the spiral blades 4 are welded on the coupling 5 at a certain interval to ensure continuous mixing and output of the fluid. Bearings 6 are set at both ends of the coupling 5 to ensure the rotation of the coupling 2.

When natural gas and hydrogen with a certain pressure and flow enter the pipeline body, they are blocked by the front guide 7 and the gas is compressed to the inner wall side of the pipeline, so that the kinetic energy of the gas is further improved. Then, the gas with a large amount of kinetic energy is converted into an ordered gas through the guide plate 3 and impacts the impeller 2, so that the impeller 2 rotates. The natural gas and hydrogen are preliminarily mixed here. The rotating impeller 2 transmits torque to the spiral blade 4 through the connecting shaft 5. The spiral blade 4 produces a shear and diversion effect on the fluid during the rotation process. The preliminary mixed gas is further stirred and mixed, and finally the mixed gas flows out from the outlet.
